Our History in Corpus Christi and the Coast of Texas

FEED 3 has been involved in the City of Corpus Christi since 2015. In 2015, Skinner met with former Corpus Christi Mayor Joe Adame and began working toward a solution to the buyout of over 500 historic homes in the minority community called Hillcrest. In 2017, Skinner helped facilitate bringing the largest South Texas Homebuilder called Braselton Homes to purchase acreage to help relocate the Hillcrest community with new mixed income housing. The community is Corpus Christi’s newest urban revitalization effort with planned green spaces, chapel and community centers with urban and mission families living every fifteen homes to help the community succeed. It is also supported by over 40 organizations to ensure the success of homeownership, job creation, and support services in holistic care.
